SPORTSAID PATRON

SportsAid Cymru Wales is a unique charity dedicated to helping talented young sportspeople in Wales achieve success by easing some of the financial barriers
which can crush their dreams.

Since its formation, SportsAid Cymru Wales has distributed nearly £1.5 million in grants to qualifying athletes in the early stages of their careers in
almost 30 different sports.

Most grant recipients say it is not just the financial support that gives them a boost: They say the recognition and encouragement represented by a SportsAid
Cymru Wales grant helps fire their commitment to perform to the best of their abilities.

Many top sportspeople who have brought pride to Wales on a world stage, including hurdler Colin Jackson, cyclists Nicole Cooke, Geraint Thomas and Eli
Barker, sprinter Jamie Baulch, paralympian David Roberts MBE, sailor Hannah Mills and taekwando champion Jade Jones, were helped by SportsAid when they were relatively unknown to the public. All
are keen supporters of the charity.

Nicola praised the work of SportsAid and said that without the charity's help some of the Welsh athletes at the CWG would
not have made it to the Games. The lunch attracted, as usual, around 200 loyal supporters from business, public administration and the world of sport and is expected to raise around £5,000.
Guest speaker was former Welsh international hooker Garin Jenkins.

SportsAidCymru Wales raises its funding through the generosity of
sponsors and the support of the Welsh public, most notably at celebrity sporting lunches and golfing events throughout the year.

Each year, SportsAid Cymru Wales organises fund-raising lunches in Cardiff and Carmarthen, the former usually on the eve of
major sporting occasions in the city.

Hugely popular, (the Carmarthen event attracts 200 guests with a waiting list) these lunches have developed an intimate,
relaxed, club-like atmosphere and are attended by sports celebrities, media personalities, guest speakers, top sports administrators, business people and individuals – all enjoying the unique
atmosphere, bonhomie and excitement that surrounds sport!

Many of our guests have attended many times. The accent is very definitely on humour and patriotism – whichever part of the
world you come from! Boosted by sponsorship, auctions and raffles, the lunches make a significant contribution to the work of SportsAid Cymru Wales. Contact us for details of upcoming
events!

SACW West Wales - a proud sporting tradition

SportsAid Cymru Wales would like to pay a special tribute to the hard-working members of its West Wales Committee- and their
many supporters - who regularly stage spectacular, sell-out sports/celebrity/business/media lunches at the Ivy Bush Royal Hotel Carmarthen, raising more than £5,000 on each occasion.

Highlights include the presentation of SACW Keith Cobain Awards - created by Keith's wife Barbara in memory of her
late, sports-mad husband - to promising young athletes from the region.

Chairman of SACW West Wales Committee David Butler said "Everyone takes pride in the success of
our young competitors. Whatever their sport, it requires tremendous commitment to make progress and it is thanks to the fabulous ongoing support we get from business and other parts of the community
in West Wales that we can give them a helping hand."﻿
